I experienced thundersnow...it was either in North Dakota, or Maryland. Probably ND but for some reason my brain won't exclude the possibility that it happened in MD.

Yes. I live in Colorado Springs and we get thundersnow probably a few times a year. It is neat.

Certainly isn't common here, but it happened a couple of years ago, last time that I remember..

Ah.. February of 2013..

Now, SNOW isn't all that common here.. We usually see 1 or 2 storms each year.. What you see in that video (outside of an asshat that can't operate a camera) would close schools for the day, possibly two days. And, probably would be melted a couple hours afterwards.

We do tend to get ice storms.. We're right on the 'freezing rain' line.

You can see a photo with flash during the snowstorm at the change of the day between 01-02 February 2012 in Ioannina.

It happen where I live last year (Maryland). It scared me so much, I had no idea what was happening in that 30-60 moment. I had never experience it before. The thoughts that ran through my head where--is there a plane crashing down? Is this an earthquake? Did a tractor trailer just hit a house?
It was bizarre and scary.

We had an ice storm in Bremerton, Washington state in 2010 and I got caught in all the traffic trying to make it home. We had ice on the roads, snow was falling, and then while I was stuck in traffic next to an open field, there was a flash of lightning and a boom of thunder. We do get snow occasionally, ice storms very rarely, and thunderstorms once in a while. To get all three at the same time would have been awe inspiring if I hadn't been bumper to bumper in traffic and 2 hours and three miles from where I started.
